I like the idea of compatriot a lot. I've written previously, tongue slightly in-cheek, about [photoshop-driven developent](http://blog.mattwynne.net/2010/10/01/photoshop-driven-development-anyone/).

I think a great use-case would be to be able to catch CSS regressions by having a set of 'golden' screenshots and highlighting regressions (failing the build?) when things look different from those. Obviously new features will screw up this system, but I want to throw the idea in there so you can ponder on it.

Feel free to close the ticket if you don't want to work on this now, I won't be offended :)
